Composed and produced by Burnt Friedman between 1994 & 1999
Mastered by Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin.

* New from Stonedwave (founded by Chip Tronic), who has lately been active for both the kugkmusique and the oyabun labels comes a collection of powerful dark wonky techno tracks who have been created for freaking out on the dancefloor while still creating pictures in the listeners mind . The tunes have been selected and tested by Dj Wotta Mess. The latter has been doing the Warm Up for Dont radio show which is a regular internet event before Jerome Hill´s London based events.

* Dj Wotta Mess selected his favourite tunes by Chip Tronic to test them on a dubplate (like in the UK Jungle scene in the 90's ). The results can be found are on this 12 inch which has a 95% green, 5% black color, thus being dark but shimmering in the sunlight like an evil artefact. Thus it reflects the mai topic of the record: the fight between hell and heaven, or between the artist and the machines. The tracks were recorded in several studio live sessions.

* The artist was deeply influenced by some urban fantasy novels dealing with this topic but also by classic novels like Dante´s Inferno or ancient stories.

* The record starts with 'Tanz im Bannkreis' a kind of pagan dance in a witch circle, consisting of a repetitive rhythm , jumping back and forth on a crunchy bassline which is accompanied by rocket like whistles which finally hypnotize the listener / dancer and culminate in an ancient hymn for modern dancefloors.
'Dante' has a powerful swing, hell´s bass and again: glitch, funk, tech & roll.
'Michael Wins' tells an ancient story about a fight between the archangel Michael and the duke of greece and is one of the longtest tracks on this ep, with longer breaks, again lot of shuffles, glitches and syncopated breaks and the reece basslines
'Alphalegion' might be the most straightforward tune on the ep with a friendlier undertone, telling the story of an Astartes Legion in the Warhammer40 k universe.

Chris Moss Acid returns to Don't for a follow up to last year's 'The Acid That Ate Bournemouth' with 4 tracks of blistering proportions. 'The Joker' is a twisted and squelchy hard nosed House/Techno hybrid that punches through a sound system, while 'Pumped Up MF' nestles coyly between Ghetto/Booty and Acid with a suggestive bassline ripping things apart. On the flip, more mayhem with 'DP Acid' which is as derranged as they come before the EP closes in magnificent style with 'Elektra', Electro's answer to Bohemian Rhapsody.

Damon Wild (Synewave, Kanzleramnt, Music Man) and Jurek Przezdzieck collabrate forces to create their new concept, Produkt. This will begin a special series and begins with two powerful tracks "Clutch" and "Snatch". Remixes by The Advent (Cisco Ferreira) and Gotshell ( Blueprint and Nachtstrom Schallplatten)

Fasten Musique comes with its 10th release "Slow Notions EP" this time a collaboation from Kamran Sadeghi who is known as a core member of the art and music group Soundwalk Collective based between Berlin and New York City.The release contains two orignal tracks,vinyl only as always.

Acclaimed US DJ and producer Maceo Plex has announced the release of his long awaited studio album 'Solar'. The climax to a lead up that included last year's 7-track 'Journey to Solar', and 2015's 2 track 'Solar Sampler', 'Solar' is due for release on his brand new label Lone Romantic on the 16th June.
Lone Romantic is a new electronica based label; it will focus on albums and will also open its doors to releasing more avant guard and leftfield singles.
Meanwhile, the 'Solar' album allows Maceo to utilise the long format to explore and expose his less explicitly club leaning and more reflective side, taking the listener on a journey through shades of electronica, techno, breakbeats, dub and more. Named after his son Solar, the album also chronicles his new found fatherhood; 'the ups and downs in the first few years and its effects on life, marriage and more'.
There's still dancefloor suitable music within the album; opener 'Sparks of Light''s propulsive drums make for an attention grabbing first track, just as the driving 4/4 bassline of closing track 'The Tesseract' is a memorable climax. 'Polygon Pulse' also features the hefty low end that Maceo has become known for, yet underneath breakbeat style drums and sighing vocal snippets.
Vocals are a prominent defining feature of 'Solar' that mark it out as a departure towards more of a home listening, experimental album. 'Indigo' marries Maceo's characteristic signature sounds with a slower tempo and gritty male vocals for a stirring, downbeat piece of indie electronica, whilst following track 'Separation's breathy vocals and subtle DnB cymbals feel more relaxed.
'Kepler's Journey' marks a stylistic break midway through the album, before the vocoded vocals of 'Solar Wind' and 'Wash Away My Tears' (the 12' mix of which was included in the Solar Sampler) bring to mind a forward thinking, indie take on French touch. Elsewhere, the lilting, dub techno influenced 'Swan Dive' sees this effect take on a more eery, thoughtful tone.
The release of 'Solar' sees Maceo Plex enter a new, more developed chapter of his long career - taking the sounds that have made him so popular and building upon them to push himself forward artistically, the album is a very personal use of the long format and an education in the producer's musical influences.

The Greek label Analogue returns, this time with the French producer Octave aka Vlaysin. Heavy, raw and acidic Techno. The perfect weapon in your vinyl bag.

The limited vinyl releases continue their second smasher. Rody´s Amplus Initium was released as digital only as Snork56. Now, you will get them pressed on hot wax.

Embossed Generic Sleeve for the Plus825 Series with innerprinted Sleeves! Richie Hawtin reveals From My Mind To Yours, a new series of seven 12 inches via his own label Plus 8 Recordings, for which Hawtin has revived some of his most revered aliases - PLASTIKMAN, F.U.S.E., ROBOTMAN,, CIRCUIT BREAKER, 80XX, CHILDSPLAY and R.H.X. The title of the release is a play on the now classic early Plus 8 compilations From Our Mind To Yours from 1991 and 1992.

Ahead of their 5th anniversary CPU announce 50th release with rebuilds of 2 rare bleep techno tracks from 1990 - in a one-off purple sleeve!

Originally released on white label, 'Move' was written by Dean Marriott aka D.Ramirez and Lloyd Douglass and recorded in Sheffield in 1990. Only a small run were pressed which is reflected today by their high price on discogs.

These rare white labels by Detromental became legendary in the Sheffield techno scene as CPU label boss Chris Smith recalls: "they sounded like they should have been on Warp", comparing them to the likes of Forgemasters, LFO and Nightmares on Wax.

Last year Chris noticed the track 'Rewind' had been posted on a techno group on Facebook and Sheffield DJ Richard Hardcastle tagged Dean in the comments, knowing he was the original artist.

Chris contacted Dean to ask if the master tapes still existed, unfortunately they were lost so Chris asked for permission to rebuild the tracks. Dean was sceptical at first as techno cover versions rarely work, but Chris's keen eye for detail saw faithful reproductions using many of the synthesizers used to make the originals.

This project is a labour of love for Chris as these tracks were among his favourites from the era. Huge respect to Dean & Lloyd for writing them and graciously allowing this project to happen some 27 years after they were originally made.

As with all tracks in the 'Yorkshire Bleep & Bass' genre, watch yer bass bins - I'm tellin' ya!

Mixed & mastered at Computer Club Sheffield.

The second Disques Panoramiques release is again a series of italo covers by Elitechnique and friends this time with disco of french origin, for ''Flash'' they freak out on the fairlight with Lizzy on ''royal'' vocals, the Serge Gainsbourg penned ''le physique et le figure'' has been slowed down and extended as to better serve the dancefloor. The limited 7 inch comes in an immaculate package handstamped and crafted at the Elitechnique headquarters, grab one before the summer gets too hot!

Hot on the heels of Skarn Division's successful launch in December of 2016 and its inaugural, well-received four-tracker Skarn which featured an original track and 3 remixes from Positive Centre, Plukkk and Yuuki Sakai, Italy-based label founder and author of the original work Federico Amoroso has made an indisputably wise decision and commissioned 5 more remixes to be produced by the stellar representatives of high quality techno discipline. Needless to say, when you bring together the heavy-hitting and well-established Takaaki Itoh, Stingrays, Lucindo and Paul Birken who have it for a principle to bar no holds when it comes to production, you can expect a rather strong output, but even DJ Surgeles, who is normally known for contemplative, leisurely-paced deep space vibes has turned quite mean and put forth a kind of stomper that has the potential to wreck some serious havoc on the dancefloor full of action-ready technoheads.

Takaaki Itoh dives into the past days of his production and starts off the affair with a 135 BPM rework - thudding, deeply-rooted kicks that hit 5 times per 4 bars, panning arrays of short, speeding bell stabs, sandy and metallic bars at 16/16, chirping waves of acid and atonal pads that finish every 4 bars with singular drips and drops of synthesized substance being poured into a glass of amassing colorful fluid. DJ Surgeles raises the tempo 2 BPM points up and unleashes hefty, widely reverberated, syncopated kicks, washes of soft noise, two layers of panning 16/16 bands, open, but terse 4/4 hats, dry claps that run in pairs, series of distressing alarming bleeping signals that come in multiple layers and shapes, and a subtly gating, cold cosmic ambiance that occupies the background and adds an ingeniously sinister touch to the piece. While Lucindo's moody remix is paced at 134 BPM, its rapid, closely-running kicks that unevenly hit 8 times per 4 bars can give a sense of much higher tempo, whose subjective perception is increased even further with slightly distorted, sandy 16/16 bars, scattered, dry militaristic stabs and samples of whip strikes, all of which run against a melancholic, oscillating acid bassline which sets back to hard times of past centuries. Stingrays' trudging 130 BPM monstrosity verges on the hard edge of rhythmic noise and, as is often the case with his style, gives an impression of being a visitor in an infernal industrial factory, instead of exclusively assisting low-range bass, its clangorous 2/4 kicks are affecting high and low range in equal measure, while the abrasive, distortion-laden textures revolve and roar, creating a dense, impenetrable thicket of power electronics. What Paul Birken has conjured up in his rearrangement could be best described as an audio incantation - the property of 148 BPM paced kicks whose gain gets slightly modified in a revolving manner every tact doesn't really make a hardtechno track out of it, but rather a tribalistic, highly original (aboriginal) IDM composition, expect a few blows of flute, arrays of clonking bars, oddly bellowing synths and open hats that flirt with shifting sweeps of cymbals.

Much as the first record, the result turned out to be a triumphant celebration of knockout-and-drop-dead techno that gradually morphs into imaginative IDM - a quality product, which really isn't a surprise considering this sort of high-grade line-up.

Jerome Hill (Super Rhythm Trax / Don't) dons his Techno hat once again for an outing on fresh new label 'Swords' and opens up with 'The Creeper', a brooding ear worm of a banger that skulks around unhinged as FM synthesis drills a hole in your eardrums with solid and moreish bass keeping things very heavy indeed. On the flip we have 'Drum War' which is just that; Sharp snare rolls puncture a heaving carcass of crunchy kicks and bass with tension riding high.Also included is a bonus Drumapella for DJs to utilise when extra snares are needed!! Lastly, the original mix of 'Plastic Jam' gets a deserved release after a more stripped back drum heavy mix appeared on the excellent Power Vacuum label last year. The original mix sees a happy melding of broken beat Techno with old skool 1992 Hardcore.Early DJ support from:
Tiga, Richy Ahmed, Bodyjack, TEED, Mano Le Tough, Ford Foster, Pangaea, G-23, Addison Groove, Dan Curtin, dOP, hrdvsion, Franklin de Costa/Mudkid, Ben Sims, Paco Osuna, Len Faki, Serge, Iron Blu, Dense & Pika, Perc, Dj Haus.

* Perc & Truss rework two key cuts, taken from Mumdance & Logos' debut album 'Proto' and deliver us a pair of hard-as-nails techno bangers.

* 'Move Your Body' is mutated from the hardcore-referencing original into a searing industrial belter. Perc & Truss' version makes use of distorted 808 drums and rising machine noise to ramp up the tension before eventually dropping out to the 'move your body' vocal sample and unleashing a terrorising acid line. Dancefloor killer.

* Flip for 'Hall Of Mirrors' which sees the pair re-route Mumdance & Logos' original into a 4/4 roller, peppered with metallic percussive hits and and a robotic bass riff. Hard, uncompromising techno built just the way it should be.

Archivist (Alex Markey) is a producer residing in Seattle (Transfusions and Medical's home). He is a member of the thriving and diverse Secondnature collective and is a prominent producer and DJ in the Seattle and surrounding scene. Archivist presents four new tracks that take his signature dense textural sound into somewhat new darker territory resulting in 4 excellent pounding cuts and superb DJ tools. This 12'' follows other Archivist releases on Blankstairs and MOTOR. Presented on 160gram black vinyl.

The fourteenth effort in the Attic Music series is a full EP by Roman artist Cristiano Balducci
under his Black Catcher alias. ''Gossip'' is a firm and futuristic sounding bundle of modern day
Techno which spans 3 tracks. On the A-side we find the title track Gossip which is a scorching haul
of tough drum sounds and hypnotizing arp sounds that build throughout.
The opening track on the B side is a remix of the track by Cristiano Balducci himself of more acidic
proportions. The final cut on this 12'' is the original ''Into The Void'' which showcases a deeper
side of Black Catcher. This track is built around a misty atmosphere and soaring synth patches.

Float Records' first vinyl release is a fact. And what could be better then to divide it in two equal parts, where the first output reflects the second. Label owners TWR72 proudly present you 'Reflect'.

Developer kicks it off with his characteristic sound. He builds a noticeable remix with a sophisticated repetitive hook which won't leave your head. Second is Kwartz. He gains the tension right from the start with a hypnotic and haunting interpretation of the original track. No turning back on this one. The third, and original track, comes from the hands of TWR72. A slightly darker approach was their intention yet still in favor of their search for perfect simplicity. Myk Derill closes the first package with an outstanding version of Reflect. The lower frequencies burst out when you expect it the least. Myk creates a groove that raises the original track to another level.

Four to the floor. Red vinyl! Bryan Brack (Sci+Tec) delivers his futuristic techno sound on Fractal Dimension. Incl John Haden and Andrea Giuliani & Luca Rossetti Remix

Hailing from Brest in France, Clement Landrau's release showcases his talent to make hard hitting floor ready techno. A1 Andromede is a roller with a reverberant baseline and complimentary atmospheric pads while title track Vitae swirls in and out of call and answer melodic phrases, accompanied by sweet baselines.

Los Angeles based, Modularz boss Developer, who has also had previous releases on Mote-Evolver and pole recordings, delivers two different remixes of the title track Vitae. Remix 1 is based around an alternative take of one of the melodic phrases from Vitae, while Remix 2 is a more syncopated minimal based track, showcasing Developer's rhythmic flair.

Expanded Edition of Regis' long out of print game-changing debut album.
The Brummie techno blueprint
Re-built from original stems & includes new studio versions and
unreleased sequences
New reworked artwork (original featured the Twin Towers
photographed in 1996)
2LP remastered and cut by Matt Colton.

For the 21st anniversary of Regis' pivotal debut album, the Brum techno overlord has remade the scene of the crime from original stems and salvaged 8-tracks tapes. The unyielding results
effectively present a doctored version of his seminal - some may say game-changing - record,featuring new studio versions and unreleased sequences. It's basically a stronger, fitter version of
his most prized LP, loaded with sounds as brutally functional as the city which birthed them,
Originally recorded in September 1996 in Room 406, Digbeth, Birmingham aka Scorn's studio - sandwiched between Tony De Vit and Broadcast's recording spaces - Regis used 1 drum machine, 1 synth, and 1 FX unit to nail home a back-to-basics approach to techno; one inspired as much by the direct immediacy of Chicago house as the febrile DJ sets of Jeff Mills, but also drawing a crucial X factor from his background as a bit of hooligan, with form in a number of post-industrial, EBM and
punk units.
When Gymnastics first hit the 'floor it was considered shocking anathema to the swell of manicured, proggy arrangements which were by then dominating the spotlight of British dance in clubs and the media. It was loopy, stripped to the bone and shark-eyed, always moving forward and without the faintest recourse to melody or harmony - simply revelling in the gnashing tension and swerve of raw, clattering drum machines and monophonic synth jabs. Big Beat or trance it fucking well wasn't. 21 years later its lip-biting force is now felt stronger than ever. From the grumbling refusal of We Said No and the austere wall-banger Allies that boot off the album, thru the 16th note nag of Translation to the rictus jag of Sand and The Black Freighter's metallic bite, this is timeless, primal dance music that still causes friction wherever it's deployed.
James Brown is dead. Long live Regis.

All Day I Dream invites a few new names to the labels summer sampler season.
Alongside a few familiar ones too like Lee Burridge and Lost Desert with their much anticipated 'Absent Without Thoughts'.
Gab Rhome and Superlounge keeping it groovy.
New music from new artists include Budakid, PHCK and Zone+, each one a unique flavor in dreamland.

It took me a couple of years get invited to Christophe De Groot's (aka Circadian Rhythms) homebase, and a couple more years to dive into his Sonic Archive. But time tells and Basic Moves 02 is what came out. The two tracks were recorded at Earguard Studio in Brussels around 1996, at a moment when his interest was moving away from club music towards other golden musical horizons.
Frequency' is a macro tech-house track in mid tempo. I'm super happy I could archive it on wax because we almost fucked up the master DAT tape by blowing up the player during a marathon listening session at his place. We had to open the device, unroll the tape across his house (full of records) and fold it back into the mini DAT cassette. After a few hours and twenty metres of tape, the problem was solved and the tracks archived: 'A dose of authenticity at a time of post-counter-cultural stagnation'.

'House Speaker Call' originated in proto-techno forms. Christophe never sees techno as a type of music but as a process. As a producer, collector and deejay he always dives deep into authentic forms of electronic music. Deg's antic personality shines out in the middle of the harsh beat-driven electro/techno track like a hopeful melody passing by on its elliptic orbit.

Tune your cells into his vibrations and get ready for these two timeless club tracks.

* Cosmopolis is an electronic music release from artist Fonemi. This work is inspired by the novel Cosmopolis by Don DeLillo, a book that tells of a modern odyssey along the streets of a great metropolis. The four pieces here, composition of Cosmopolis, sounds as the soundtrack of an introspective journey rich in ancestral suggestions and forgotten rituals recalls over time. The undervalued atmospheres that characterise the whole work seem to be held in suspension by a percussive magma that marks the passage of the past that becomes present. Cosmopolis is a fluid that carries our lost memories.

* Cosmopolis: a tribal and primitive dance, a propitiatory rite that has been handed down unchanged over the centuries.

* Fiori carnivori: what you do not expect, the flower, a symbol of delicacy and sensitivity that turns into an inexorable predator.

* Verso Casa: the return from a long journey, the lights that illuminate the asphalt and the distant flashes of unidentified cities.

* Tra Le Rovine: an ancient song, a prayer that exorcises a universal omen.

Ed Davenport continues his full-spectrum Techno experiments as Inland with an elegant new EP on Counterchange entitled Coriolis.

The title track 'Coriolis' is a moody 10 minute voyage with a morphing synth array at its core - bright, detuned stabs are layered upon tough rhythmic foundations. The jagged metallic lead builds, unearthing harmonic bleep accents and syncopated FX swells, before folding in on itself leaving the effective tribal drum section to ride on.

'D10D3' plows forward with an urgent staccato sequence, segueing into Italo-Horror filter sweeps and noise-laden moments of drama. Finally 'Tsereteli' is a more reduced modern Dub study, continuing Ed's long running fascination with Tranced-out time stretching and after-hours vibes.

The 9th release on the label, the record features cover art by UK artist Guy Archard and is pressed on 180g vinyl.

Matthew Burton's charismatic "Shudderz" EP is the first release from Berlin imprint Chord Records.

REPRESSED !!

Delroy Edwards has come a long way. 2012 marked his Introduction into the world of Dance Music via Ron Morelli's Imprint LIES. After offering up essential dance floor singles like '4 Club Use Only' and 'Heart and Soul' Edwards' established himself as a producer with a unique touch and style. With a growing desire to control his own output and make a more significant statement, Delroy set off to start his own imprint, L.A. CLUB RESOURCE.Creatively directing his own imprint became a platform for him and over the course of two years L.A.C.R. created one of the most palpable musical experiences in the field. The label released music in a range of styles from a span of generations, the only constant was the high output and stellar art direction. Many releases produced by the label head himself, Delroy's production were lauded for their piercing simplicity, grace and attitude.In his first LP for the label, Edwards' has arranged a sincerely personal moment. The 30-track effort marks a special moment in his growth blending current interests in punk and electronics into an outsider narrative like no other. From Devo to J Dilla the influences across the record are subtle but respectful. Regardless of influence, Hanging at the Beach feels unequivocally new. Experiencing the LP for the first time speaks to the Californian experience in its full range. Certain moments call to the beaches of Monterey while others speak to the sleeze that lines Hollywood Blvd. Edwards doesn't distance himself from the production style that has defined him and the label, but this effort is a long playing collection, a directed, new moment for the
prolific producer.

Parts 2 & 3 merge loping HipHop into quickstepping Juke momentum with swirling atmospheres, kinda like Blue Daisy jacked up on meth. 'Turiya' is sweeter cool-out 2-step joint with textured Burial-esque finish applied to crisp, classic-referencing 2-step Rave.'

Hard Techno, psychedelic dancefloor style offering a bit of experimental high time in each tunes, for a shouting crowd : Talium is thelurik and kicks at 135 BPM BUT kicks hard !!
Ideohm goes acid at 135 as well, with a very begium acid style. More cosmic, indeed....

Then comes Make My Day, 162 BPM of another quiet sober Hard Techno, dancefloor mental talker. Gently mental.
The B side starts on a French Raving Hardcore Old School kicker. 195 BPM pityless funky Hardcore :)
Acid Nightmare plays the same speed and quiet the same style of old School kicking hardcore... Dry, Rave, Hard.

Loads of good techno, ambientish and minimal... to Acid... to Tribe... to groove and to explore !

Back for the second volume of "Ground-Fault-Interrupt', a compilation series launched last year by the London based imprint inaugurated by Michael Wells, which has developed into a respected destination for enthusiasts and hardsteppers alike.
Remaining in a state of evolution, Weekend Circuit continues to celebrate all that's raucus and right, split across a 2 record release. Returning to the label are Jeff Rushin, PEARL, Developer, Alderaan, and IY, Stanislav Tolkachev, and Antonio De Angelis while Par Grandvik makes his debut. This double vinyl compilation is a mix of pulsating, essential, bottom heavy, and ultimately diverse techno. __
Par Grandvik and Jeff Rushin start sounds off on side A, "The Act" is a dusky concoction of church atmosphere and clean percussion, giving "Graphite" the platform to continue with an abyssal measure of agile percussion.
Side B enters with P.E.A.R.L.'s "Azul & Oro" - an exposed hyper-dash kick drum, chopping between closed and open hi-hats throughout to keep an ever elastic momentum, leaving Developer and "Lost Moments" to follow with this echo immersed, high-casualty workout of pertinent techno articulation.
The 2nd vinyl is just as downreaching and subaqueous as the first, with Alderaan's "Sequel" immersing you in ambient decadence with an industrial lean. IY's "Nara" further trips you out with an instinctive feel and likely energy of highs and lows.
The D side is inward techno at its best, reaching out to the ominous and misanthropic of society. "Framing" is a drone of slow pace drive, suitable for only the strongest in techno. "Anomaly" embodies tradition and experimentation. Distinct and abrasive in its energy, this track feels deeply personal and all atmosphere.
This meticulously arranged LP is devoid of convention, manifesting itself beyond planet-sized thinking and highlights the labels ongoing artistic vision.

The 2nd release on Allessandro Stefanio's Substrato, true to the label's concept, is another musical exploration of both atmospheric heights and geological solidity, with all the emotional resonance and physical impact that such an exploration implies. This new EP from Buck, like the Substrato debut Fluid Identity by Limo, is a skillful sonic meditation on the natural living environments that we often take for granted: its mix of intense tectonic beats and ambient winds takes us from the archaic mystery of the underground to the rapture of the open skies above

Repress - Originally released in August 2011.
Strong and diverse single from DjRum, following a killer remix of LV and Message To Bears with a mixture of hi-Tech Rollers, Juke and emo Garage with detailed compositional flourishes. 'Undercoat' sets the tone with low-lit pads and vocals giving way to sleek stepping rhythms, finely balanced for club or home play. The centrepiece 'Mountains' shows a keener Technoid vocabulary, with Part 1 exhibiting flash, fluid Techno steppers programming with warm, jazz touches hitting the mark between Scuba and Shifted

New Ekman monster bomb!!

One of the founding fathers of Chicago house, himself a grandson to a DJ and frequently alongside other greats such as Ron Hardy on the decks, Gene Hunt summons a 3-tracker for the Midnight Shift label. True house and techno direct from the source and in his own words, a rather 'jungly' take of it due to the tracks' chaotic percussion. 'Feeling It' takes you back to the original old school, with all the classic elements in place, it's a house lover's wet dream, 30 years after the fact. 'Spector' twists things up while keeping that pumping jacking groove a perfect intersection between then and now. 'Scatter' punches through the noise like a clarion call to arms - where are all our jacks and jackies at Report to the dancefloor, please.

The third edition of Figure's recently launched run of limited edition hybrid discs sees the label head helping a 90'ies classic to new glory. When originally released in 1995, Ian Pooley's Celtic Cross destroyed clubs everywhere with its iconic vocal sample and hypnotic bass bleeps. Len Faki's remix treatment is a sublte one, which manages to leave most of the original's Elements in tact while still expanding upon its fiercely banging character. The now sub-laden kicks stomp even heavier, the old-school drums rattle even crunchier and lashes of Faki's unrivaled hats whip the frenzied track through its now much slicker progression. Bringing the unashamed rave vibes from two decades ago up to modern production standards, this remix will have both the new generation of techno lovers as well as the veteran heads unite in joy on the dancefloor.

The Free Fall Galaxy is what we could call a cosmic menace - a threat to all that it encounters. It is a dark space in Time that shows no mercy for its prey as it devours for the means of survival. Unlike the Galaxies humanity know and recognize; the spiral, elliptical and abnormal galaxies, the Free Fall doesn't seem to have a consistent character that we rationalize, but one thing that we do know is that it endlessly consumes without becoming larger in mass or size. Where the cosmic matter goes after it's eaten is a mystery that we struggle to imagine. As a nomadic hunter, we must assume that this Galaxy holds the information that unlocks many galactic mysterious.

Nature indicates that maybe Earth has already been consumed by this Galaxy - that our accelerating sense of cyclical Time versus the decline and deterioration of matter demonstrates a conflicting circumstance that could be the result of the digestion. Not the indication of out-right growth and fortification. If we prescribe the suggestion of Einstein's quote (above), we should look deep into ourselves for answers. What is it about the Future that intimidates humans or why can't we imagine our existence decades and centuries from now The natural answer could be that there won't be a Future that we will part of.

RiRom is a collaboration between Ricardo Villalobos and Roman Flügel and we are more than happy to have this dream team as our 80th release on Raum Musik. Have fun... !

Greek artists ANFS and Sawf curate their labels Vanila and Kafta with primarily their own abrasive takes on Techno. With a strong cult following already in place and label support from the likes of Tommy Four Seven, AnD, Samuel Kerridge, their catalogues contain vital releases. This is the final remaining stock from each release in anticipation of new 12"s from each label.

Aspecto Humano return to the vvaa format in their 3rd release with a 4 track sampler. Moderne Recordings label owners, The Revolving Eyes, present a schizophrenic 90's scent techno banger with their 'Imaginary Analysis'. Follows Holon, who brings in an apocalyptic odyssey in 'The Sky Comes Alive With Fire And War'. The incombustible Iron Blu offers on the flip a more optimistic vision with a crispy bassline and playful cosmic leads in his MoToRiKi. Finally, synth magician WC Olo Garb shows his skills in 'Lesson I learn', an intense track as if The KLF would meet Chris & Cosey to burn everything down.

Outofstock returns with another release, this time a two-tracker from Timofti which is well known as being a part of Audiotheque. After the great reception that followed after the premiere of this label, it was a tough job to have any material at least close to that one, but Timofti lived up to the expectations and produced some of the most attracting sounds you would hear lately.
"Storyline" is the masterpiece of the A-side, an extremely well-balanced tune with an appealing, low vocal part and an edgy bassline is as good as it comes. Unpredictable, but amazing, the track is sophisticated due to the quirky percussions and spacey hats, all of them in perfect place to offer a unique vibe. A linear product, according exactly to the Romanian sound that is so highly appreciated lately, this one is definitely going to make a mark for years to come due to its complexity and real value.
The B side contains a contrast because of the "Blue Effect", a more darkish concept that inserts the idea of the sea, both with its title and with an astonishing depiction through sound, a truly artistry composition that can induce you in the musicians perspective. The basline is the root of this image, with an aggressive but deep approach, also completed by some acoustic elements that go beyond the usual aspects, delivering a new insight of Timofti.

Making his Tortured debut is Liverpool based Techno DJ and producer, Binny with his 'Devil's Orchestra EP'.

Binny's journey as a solo artist started with a release on Orbis Records in 2012. Since then he's gone on to release a further three EPs for Orbis as well as additional releases for Monnom Black, Symbolism, CLFT, Suburban Avenue, Forte Techno, Scenery, Demarcation and Flatlife Deep plus remixes for Endlec and Fundamental Interaction. Drawn to the music of Jeff Mills, Robert Hood, Surgeon, Regis, Steve Rachmad and many others, his DJ sets and production sound is tough, hypnotic, old school and most of all, uncompromising. As a founding member of the Phantom Planet Outlaws with John Heckle and Mark Forshaw, they have produced EPs on Tabernacle and Apartment Records as well as starting the Boss Tracks label exclusively dedicated to releasing Phantom Planet Outlaws material.

Taking another solo turn, this time for Billy Nasty's Tortured label, Binny delivers a refined EP from the striking and demonic strings of the aptly titled opener, 'Devil's Orchestra' via the multihued tough groove of 'Alternative Methods', before the Tech-funk of 'Roll With It' and on to the Sci-Fi tones of 'Untitled' which closes the vinyl 12"

A remastered version of Biosphere´s debut album Microgravity on triple vinyl and double CD with a bonus album of unreleased tracks.From Wikipedia: Geir Jenssen began releasing his music as Biosphere on obscure Norwegian compilation albums. His first Biosphere releases were the 12-inch single "The Fairy Tale" and the album Microgravity, both of which were rejected by SSR as unmarketable.(1) Microgravity was released in 1991 on the Norwegian label Origo Sound, and saw wider release via the R&S Records subsidiary Apollo in 1992, to much critical acclaim.

RUIS004 by BODJ. 450 hand-stamped and hand-numbered copies on solid white & black vinyl.

Now, as a 20-something, DER HUT finally welcomes Senor Felix Bernhardt again! The striking "Rombola" additionally got retreated by Hamburg's finest newbee trio of Kamika, Felix Lorusso and Brojanowski.
A1- Felix Bernhardt - Rombola. As energetic as techno can get: Felix is pulling out all the stopps. This is what you need on an all raving primetime boiling pot!
A2 - Felix Bernhardt - Rombola (Kamika RMX). Kamika is condensing it down to a weird yet massivly pushing soundscape of straight forward strangeness - a perfect tool for well focussed dancefloors not reaching for the obvious.
B1 - Felix Bernhardt - Rombola (Brojanowski daddy RMX). Equally crispy, yet not restraining from mixing it up
with an atmospheric element of harmony, is Mr. Brojanowski's approach to the Rombola.
B2 - Felix Bernhardt - Rombola (Felix Lorusso's Flat Broke RMX). The original artist's namesake Felix Lorusso is getting it serious again. No hokums here, no distraction - Techno en pointe.

Poverty is violence return with a killer 5 track V/A EP... Introducing some new signings to PIV (KSP, Credit 00 and Persian) alongside co-owner Charlton and PIV staple XXX, this EP features Poverty music from across the board and doesn't disappoint.

A1. One of the new additions to the PIV stable is heavy hitter KSP of the legendary Raiden project and Kamikaze Space Program... Here he drops a killer club track that twists the techno template, injecting it with the sentiments of D'n'B... This is already getting heavy club play from all and sundry.

A2. XXX returns to Poverty with his trademark sound. Heavy as can be but coupled with a subtlety only he can explain. Hard beats and acid bleeps emphasise the groove with a slightly more funked up swing than his previous work, guaranteeing heavy pressure as XXX delivers once more...

A3. Poverty co owner Charlton chips in with a hard acid mini track that develops to a tight locked groove. One for the heads and coming on like a hybrid of late 80's acid house and 90's techno, this is a floor filling distortion of the templates.

B1. Credit 00 is another new signing and serves up a dope tribalistic 808 drum track with haunting delayed vocals. Reminiscent of a lost disco 12' dub track, this is a stripped back house groove for the more discerning dance floor.

B2. Closing the EP is the killer Persian track Don't 'Deal Wid Violence'. A pioneer of the hardcore/jungle scene starting out in '91 alongside Bizzy B, Deluxe, Trace and Zinc, Persian went on to help define the UKG scene with Same People's 'Dangerous'. With forthcoming appearances on Dekmantel and Fabric mixes he is a most welcome addition to the roster. His track here is pure original OG UK hardcore, authentic as it could be, no one sounds like this anymore.

Limited to 300 copies and lovingly mastered with an all analogue signal straight to vinyl at The Exchange in the UK.

A staple album since its release in 1998, 'Heavenly' is as relevant today as it was twenty years ago. It turned heads everywhere, got the underground scene buzzing and set dance floors ablaze like an accomplished pyromaniac. Now, the album is back for another round of Techno-flavored goodness. Revisited, tweaked and rearranged by Kevin Saunderson under his E-Dancer moniker, the album not only offers new additions to the album ('Foundation', 'Into The Future' and 'One Nation') alongside the 1998 originals, but is also poised to fuel a number of exclusive E-Dancer live shows. A collection of songs sure to keep the dance floor lit for decades, 'Heavenly' (Revisited) is making history once more.

The legendary MR G is back with a brand new EP on his Phoenix G imprint. 3 staggering and repetitive deep and techy tracks for ultimate club build up purposes. Bucket list is a typical track that fits in all kind of sets, wether you are a tech or deephouse DJ this ep has a strong vibe on which you cant miss out on.

The brand new Echoes_ imprint sees label co-owner Nathan 0ye delivering his solo debut with Topper on remix duty.

After 2 VA releases that have been massively supported by none else than Ricardo Villalobos himself, this time Fortezza Records features an EP from a single artist, plus a remix to round off the project. Niro Perrone, coowner of Unclear Records and one of the minds behind Klang Club in Italy, offers up 3 brand new tracks 100% his style: the guy has a knack for writing intricate compositions, yet retaining a freshness and a catchy vibe that capture the listener right away thanks to a fine sound designing mixed with an ear for charming music. Different in style but all drenched in analogue sounds, the tracks veer off into experimental territory for most of the time. 'Don't Play With Cactus' heavy pounding kick drum and distorted tones all over flow along computer noises and schizoid vocal
snippets. Its remix comes courtesy of Alli Borèm, who turns the original into a darker and faster number, speeding it up to a galloping rhythm and frenzied pace. 'Dans La Keys' is chockfull of synth stabs, robotic claps and percussions, while a psychedelic pad melody blends with a keyboard intermezzo, creating a perfect balance between House and Acid.
'Sidewalk Stories' is dreamy and sweet, its whispering voices gracing the celestial and ethereal atmospheres.

Umek continues his Zeta Reticula series for Billy Nasty's Electrix with 'EP 6'.

Last year Umek reprised his Zeta Reticula electro moniker to continue a series for Electrix, which originally ran between 2000 and 2003 prior to the label's more recent re-launch.

'EP 5' released in October last year was highly regarded by the media and gathered DJ support from within the often interwoven techno and electro scenes, from big-hitters like Dave Clarke, Laurent Garnier, Adam Beyer and The Advent, to electro tastemakers like Andy Bass Agenda who welcomed Umek onto his show

Opening 'EP 6' is the bass-quaking 'Reticulum' as the release instantly sparkles and explodes into electrofunk action, followed by 'Solar Analogs', like a ticking time bomb. Both tracks have already seen early radio plays on Dave Clarke's White Noise show

'Rotating Protostellar Cloud' heads up the B-side with its more Moroder / Kraftwerk era sound that's epic and melodious, before 'Circumstellar Debris Disk' completes the quartet, with a flurrying filmatic soundscape approach.

Dark Entries present the sophomore album from Austin, Texas analogue hardware enthusiast Bill Converse. Immersed in the early days of the 90s midwest rave scene, Bill began DJing at a young age in Lansing, Michigan. Luminaries such as Claude Young, Traxx, and Derrick May were key early influences. Techno, noise, ambient and tape processing are all part of his uncanny sound palette. His debut album 'Meditations/Industry' was released on cassette in 2013 and edited for a vinyl release in January 2016 followed by two 12' singles 'Warehouse Invocation' and '7 of 9' the same year.

'The Shape Of Things To Come' is a 70 minute journey spread across two pieces of vinyl. It's comprised of seven tracks recorded directly to tape with no overdubs, made at Converse's home studio. At the time of recording, Bill was sending this material to Josh Vance (Josua Dorje Ngodup) for feedback. Most of the time Josh would respond in the form of artwork, and then Bill would create another track inspired by this feedback chain. Converse has dedicated this series of tracks to him. The songs on this album reveal a sublime influence from Detroit techno, early Chicago house, and Acid. For this album Converse slightly bumped up the tempos geared for dancefloor energy. Built around vintage synthesizer lines and gritty drum machine percussion, the tracks evoke how things have changed and how they have come to be.'

All songs were mastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Each LP is housed in a gatefold jacket with a painted photograph portrait by Dietmar Busse and layout design by Eloise Leigh. The gatefold conceals an otherworldly collage made by Josua Dorje Ngodup. Each copy includes a postcard featuring artwork from Bill's sister with notes.

Hailing from Chicago's South Side, the duo Dar Embarks lives in a world of underground techno and machines. Their debut album, FLEER EP, was recorded live on hardwares, no keys were played, just the pressing of buttons and turning of knobs. Gathering its inspiration from records on the shelf, sci fi and comics, Dar Embarks remains steadfast in technotic efforts to interpret the future...our future.

The newest imprint indulging in dub minimal techno.

We are back! We move out from our production traditions, but we come in the traditions of the dub now! We bring to your attention the SV-11 of our beloved artist Pawel Granacki aka Desove with his amazing dub melodies from the album Solo Dub Works. In the best traditions of Wackies Sampler. 10 dub tracks, 10 dub fires! Dubwise grooves, heavy basslines, inspired dub melodies, dub delays, horns, dub siren, djembe.. it is all there! Flavoured with analog effects and mixed old fashion way. Hot riddims straight out of Bialystok - as he himself says, everything like in the classic dub you can find in his album. All that Pawel does is let the dub flow through him. It's modest, in fact we understand that behind all this is a lot of work, it sounds as if he was playing with his band, but this is SOLO DUB WORKS! This is an excellent musical gift for all of us for the coming summer! We hope it will be kind, warm and peaceful for all living beings!

Audiosapr is one of the most consistent albums you re likely to come across in Russia s GOST ZVUK entire back catalogue. Surprisingly, the full-length by Saint Petersburg s scene veteran Kuzma Palkin is a compilation of random jams and studio recordings he made in the period of 2014-2015, carefully pieced together by label s masterminds. SAPR stands for the System of Automatic Projection (a Russian term for Computer-Aided Design, CAD) which defines the album s experimental yet complex and interlocking heart. Based around a central theme of immediacy and spontaneity, Audiosapr builds upon the foundations of early, pre-Detroit era of electro and techno, and then progresses the wispy entrails of analogue gear in a contemporary dancefloor direction. It s clearly music that can be attributed as hybrid, however it s not you re going to think about while listening to Audiosapr , Palkin s definitely most inspiring work to date.

Repress Alert!
One of the most reliable names in techno and arguably Berghain's most prominent face, Marcel Dettmann has already once accomplished the difficult task of translating his pared-back techno sound to the album format. His debut self- titled album, released back in 2010, comprised 12 sculptures of obdurate stone and steel aimed at a pair of good headphones as much as they were a dance floor. They showed a producer as adept at intricate sound design as he was rocking the world's best club. Since then, Dettmann has released another acclaimed mix CD and a string of singles which had him move away from that LP's tough textures and into everything from liquid ambient to the catchiest music of his career.
But then there's Dettmann II. A sequel in a true sense, the album marks a return to the spirit of the first album, but things feel less tense this time around. Dettmann brings his recent experimental outlook and applies it to the album template, creating a record that lives and breathes with a naturalism rare for a techno album. Expertly paced, Dettmann II impresses especially with its carefully rising narrative. On first glance, as the album barrels into action with the particulate grit of 'Throb' and - Ductil', Dettmann is in fine style. But to the careful listener, these tracks feel lightweight like they're built from aluminum instead of steel. Each tune's central theme is a bit more out there than usual, from the sheet metal racket of 'Lightworks' to the house-hinting chorus of 'Soar', which is every bit as majestic as its title implies. He offers up some top-notch ambient material as well, like the trippy 'Shiver', or the ominous 'Outback', which features contributions from Levon Vincent.
Dettmann also reaches for a rare collaboration on his second album. Kindred spirit Emika lends her spectral gasps to 'Seduction', which stays stunningly antiseptic even as it weaves her voice into its wire framework. With Dettmann II's stretch of tracks 'Radar' and 'Corridor', the album finally takes flight into full-on club mania, fist-pumping career-high material with all the subtlety of his old work molded up into a spiky banger.
'Aim', which ends the record in lofty fashion, hints at a new direction for Dettmann, uncharacteristically melodic and even uplifting. Co-produced by René Pawlowitz, it bears the Shed touch but keeps it firmly in Dettmann's finely-honed world. The first track written for the album and the one that initiated the album sessions in the first place, it carefully hints at new directions while keeping its glance firmly in Dettmann's established history - which you could say for the album as a whole, gently moving towards new horizons but always keeping in mind what made Dettmann's past music so great in the first place.

Light shed in the darkness of the May new moon, 2016.

Wonderful sound designs and deep cloudy soundscapes for explore and deep journey is highly recommended!

Detroit's Burden Bros have long been looked upon with immense respect within contemporary dance music. Having been in operation since 1990 with their 430 West imprint they have long encapsulated the forward thinking vibe of Detroit Techno with their output over the last 20+ years, gaining praise from their motor city peers as well as fans worldwide. Having had success in the mainstream and an enduring underground presence they are well versed in the art of music.
'Point Blank', released on 430 West in 1996, feature some of the brothers' deeper, more subdued, futuristic technoid grooves. Not as driving as some of their other releases but retaining that Burden groove for sure, forward thinking, intelligent Techno from the D, 100%. 4 different versions of 2 tracks feature. Each mix tweaking ever so slightly what came before. As usual, the DJ's and the dancers are foremost in Octave One's mind and this EP will be welcomed by both contingents, always classic, often imitated but never bettered!
Re-mastered, re-pressed and re-released in conjunction with the Burden Brothers / 430 West Records, Detroit USA.

After some releases on several interesting label in the techno scene, Reform make return to Etruria with their strong new ep called 'Checkmate", which includes two remixes from the Soma talent Charles Fenckler and the Belgian Amelie Lens . First original is a melodic track characterized by hypnotic synths which interchange everytime in the arrangement and also dirty and powered drums. Amelie version's express exactly her style, giving to the tracks something magic with the vocals added, making a very true and enigmatic game of chess. Second original instead is dominated by a strong pad, which fill up the mix, blowing up in the break and giving an epic feeling to the ensemble. Charles's remix is techno with no excuses: raw powerful and groovy, is the perfect end for this pack, giving a much more underground touch to the release.

Limited to 200 copies on yellow, labelless vinyl is the latest release on Leipzig's Minor Label, fusing the creative forces of the two artists that have been responsible for a main part of the labels output throughout the past two years. Whilst Yvat fuses heavy distortion, beat twisting and melodious Electronica in a kind of Aphex Twin-manner on the A-side we see Tlic explore cold, grinding, sci-fi'ish soundspheres based on a slow, pounding 4/4 foundation on his B1 tune "Digital Kautschuk" whilst things are speeding up with "Homeo Sapiens" on B2 to a not less grinding effect. Frosty.

Big electro vocoder rave remixes that remind of the early 00's when the gig I-f, Tiga and Miss Kittin tunes rocked the clubs.

Arcing Seas is back with ARCS-03; a unique EP of selected tracks from the first two releases, remixed by The Mover, Peder Mannerfelt and Shifted. First up, rave and techno legend The Mover presents his first new material since 2009. After using the slogan "See you in 2017" for years before, this marks the start his return. He turns Trappist into a hard hitting electro workout using original parts that explode and punish the senses. Peder Mannerfelt introduces the B-side with his take on Skull Gun. Broken beats and exciting percus-sion sit atop deep kicks, disorientating quick fire samples and rapid snares, showing how versatile and on-point he is. Finally, Shifted is called into action with a signature deep-sonic soundscape. Rumbling kicks and high frequency textures occupy the sound field, alongside reverberating samples from Vultures, making it his own. Label info: Arcing Seas is an anagram of Cassegrain. It started out as a secret alias, releasing a couple EPs on Our Circula Sound. The secret was less well kept after the duo appeared at Berghain under this name. A year later, after deciding to start a label, it finally made sense to bring the two together.

Hippie Priest returns to Argot to release his second album, See It Through. Having made great strides at dialing in his production and strengthening his songwriting since the release of Gaia Variants in 2016, the young Champaign-based producer focuses his sophomore longplayer around a narrative approach. 'See It Through is a day in the life of a lioness", says Hippie Priest, 'Beginning with the soft ambience of waking up in the morning, leading up to an intense hunt in the middle, and into evening revelry and eventual slumber". The album's 11 tracks cover a large stretch of sonic ground to tell this story. Its glowing opener, 'Umbrella Keeper' gives way to widescreen stompers 'Thorn' and 'Quicksand' that clear the way for more contemplative moments like 'Crystal' or 'Cherry Blossom". One can't help but imagine a dramatic hunt while listening to 'Are You Okay' or carnivorous displays on 'Desire". Even tender scenes are possible with closers 'Tanuki' and 'Tired Lioness", gorgeous movements in which Hippie Priest's melodic profficiencies shine brightest. Vital Sales Points: - Second album from the up-and-coming young producer from central Illinois

Ital & Halal is the psychedelic new collaboration between shadowy producer Aurora Halal and Planet Mu's iconoclastic Ital. Recorded over six months, each track is a spiraling world unto itself, coursing between strobing club anthems and ephemeral headtrips. It opens up with the propulsive "Ascension," its uplifting cosmic chords colliding with insistent rhythms, then leads to the softer, dubby melancholia of "Phase 2."


On the B-side, "The Thirst" weaves paranoid, spectral voices in and out of focus against seedy, hypnotic techno. "The Day After" wakes up in the ruins of the night before.


"The Day After" follows closely on a string of stellar EPs from the recently-reinvigorated Lovers Rock, Ital's "Throbbing/Nodding," and Earthen Sea's masterful drone/dub exploration "Mirage," as well as Halal's solo debut "Passageway" on Mutual Dreaming.


Ital & Halal will perform their first and possibly only live performance Saturday April 5th at The Bunker's presentation of Unsound NYC.

Riding high on the success of his EPOCH EP in February, John Monkman makes his debut on Crosstown Rebels with HARMONIX, a celebration of the Moog Voyager, whilst techno heavyweight Matrixxman supplies the remix.
A true master of his craft, Monkman has been creating music for over a decade and his passion and experience shine through his productions. HARMONIX was born after the UK producer and DJ limited himself to just one synth, resulting in 'interesting harmonics and a rawness that comes from syncing the oscillators, combined with an overload hack that gives the sound a little more juice'.
Sophisticated and formidable, HARMONIX 1 and HARMONIX 2 are orchestrated around the legendary Moog Voyager, with charged high hats that fracture the driving beat. US producer and DJ Matrixxman completes the EP with an imposing remix, verging on cinematic and brimming with atmosphere.
Continually building on his solid reputation, John Monkman has previously collaborated with Pete Tong, and released on labels including; Kompakt, Get Physical and Noir.

RDF number 4 comes with a massive trancy underground gem from Leipzig´s own Napoleon Dynamite'. The flip side includes two masterpiece reworks by Tristen & Ron Deacon.

Takashi Himeoka joins our label with a deep house masterpiece reinterpreted from Mihigh on the B side for more minimalistic feelings.

After the very first release by the Romanian producer Alex Baciu, Zefzeed is the protagonist of the second release with amazing 'Hyperclub' EP:
A dreamy trip on deep vibrations and hypnotizing sounds still keeping your feet on the dancefloor.
The EP starts with 'Hyperclub', a catchy track with an obscillating groove and trippy chords.
Instead, the second track 'Dar Stai Putin' is a journey with elegant sounds towards warm dancefloor beats.

Finally repressed

OOS #01 comes from a long term collaboration between Audiotheque and Stefan Sublee, with three special tracks made in different periods of time with a common melodic mood, but it's better to let the music speak for itself.

The second release presents a new front left artist - Daito (Lenny Jäzosch).
Daito is the Japanese term for different kinds of swords, used by samurais.
This describes his sharp and detailed sound without the lack of emotions & soul. Being a regular raver, his productions are dance floor motivated, containing special moments that can be felt when you are dancing to it. His influence comes from an earlier style of techno with a raw and inspiring sound.
On the B-side, you will find Elad Magdasi - a regular front left raver who debuted on the first release(Finger Trip EP). His style is classic, diverse and 90s influenced. Elad is returning with two different types of techno creations.

The Music:
We could say that each side of the vinyl supplies two sides of the artists:
Daito - Gamble, the debut track we just had to put on wax. An intense synth/pad journey with an angelic
feeling to it.
Daito - Breach, the more evil one, with a sneaky lead followed by rushing beats and pumping energy.
Elad Magdasi - Hell Strike, bringing back the 90s raves with a non-stopping arpeggiator and all-open 909s.
Elad Magdasi - Love Attack, telling a story of two synths which fell in love, with stabby hits and heavy beats.
